In this paper, we propose relaying algorithms and investigate their efficiency at the application layer of flying ad hoc networks (FANETs). We consider two scenarios with a network of two nodes (the source and the destination) and two scenarios with a network of twelve nodes (the source, the destination, and ten nodes that form “the swarm”). We use 802.11n standard at the data-link layer and optimized link-state routing protocol (OLSR) at the network layer of OSI model. We propose chunk-by-chunk, fifty-fifty, and ratio-based relaying algorithms. We compare efficiencies of these algorithms by packet delivery metric (PDR).
